Today is Racial Harmony Day, the day Singapore commemorates racial harmony after the racial riots in 1964. Just look at all the violence in other parts of the world. It's evidence that they just can't tolerate each others' differences. The current unrest in China between the Hans and Muslims is a timely example.

I wore an ethnic-looking shirt today with jeans. It was a decision made only yesterday after being influenced by jy. I ransacked mom's closet and asked her to recommend a shirt. This was my first time wearing something ethnic for Racial Harmony Day in school. I didn't really see many younger students wearing it. The sec 4s turned out to be the most enthusiastic level. More than 75% of my class dressed up. It's the time when you realise you're ageing and want to make the most out of your last year in this school. Occassions in school like these which used to bore me out suddenly became for precious. Ah well, only people my age and beyond will understand. Anyway, there were fun memories. Oh yea, I have to add that it was super hot (temperature). I was almost melting away.

Another thing peer pressure did to me yesterday - going for prom. JY got "threatened" to go for prom, and then dragged me along. I originally intended not to go. Haha.. This reminds me of what Mrs S once said something like, "if something better comes along the way, I may just go along." Well, I'm not exactly sure how this is exactly related, but anyway..

Jean's seniors are having it at Shangri-la hotel. Man... That's called class. Never mind. It's not that it really matters to me. I thought proms were for mixed schools, but of course, it isn't. And I just realised that only all-girls schools have proms and not all-boys schools. (correction: they do) I still find it hard to imagine the other scenario..

I went to the doctor after school today with the intention of having a basic check up, but it turned out that I had to fast the night before and go down in the morning. I guess I'll have to wait till Saturday. However, managed to get my BP checked again. It's still higher than normal. Around the same as last week. Have to monitor closely and go back to the doctor in 2 weeks. Sigh...
